2006 Jeep Commander starting but not moving

I purchased a 2006 Jeep commander a few months ago and have unfortunately had several problems with it already. The worse would be today. I got in the car, it started fine, shifted it into gear, and the car won't move. The gear shifting on this vehicle can be felt, but as I shift from park to drive to reverse you feel nothing. Once I step on the gas the speed and RPMs jump, but nothing. I have no clue what happened and I was driving it fine the day before.

Check the trans fluid level, for some reason this is critical, if my Jeep
fluid level is even low by a cup it won't shift right, had it checked found
nothing wrong, tranny guy said just the way it is, so I always keep it just
a smidgen above the full mark warm, it seems to like it right there.
Look at the color of the fluid while your there if it is dark and smells burnt
chances are it is too late, trannys toast.

hi does it feel like the cable is hooked up.... does the vehicle roll when
in neutral with the engine off shift it to neutral and try roll it its possible
the cable broke on you ...//if the trany has been not given you any
issues (delay shift, slipping,flaring) I would not think that the fluid level
would be the issue with out giving you some of these signs at first
...you can check the fluid..... vehicle has to be warm and idling in
neutral with the E/brake on ....//do not over fill it not even a little bit this
is not good for an auto trany ...//also if the fluid is overfilled it will be
into the gear train and act like a blender airrating the fluid and and
making it like foam ...the pump can not pick this up and compress it
and make pressure ....//which an auto trany needs to shift and apply
the clutches...//both a low and a high level will cause a delay and flare
in shifts and also check your transfere case and make sure your in 4
high or 2 high ...// or if its an AWD make sure its not in neutral either

Why can you not repair the universal joint in a 4.7 litre 2006 jeep commander rear drive
shaft? And if you can were can I buy the joints? A second hand one is $450. That's the
cheapest I found. Plea...
